Troubles of the Somoans.
WASHINGTON, Oct 4-Secretary Bayard.
in an interview regarding Germany and the
Samoan Islands said he thought the Ger
mans had treated the Samoans harshly. The
statement that the Samoans were arming
to repel the Germans was absurd since the
islands do not contain more than 1000
people and these were poorly armed The
United States has no treaty with Samoa
which would make it necessary to
interfere to protect the autonomy of
the islands. The treaty which we
have simply guarantees the use of har-
Dor and coaling stations for our naval YES
sells. The Secretary stated that he was
notified a week ago that Germany
would take this step, but was assured that
Americas interest in the island would be
protected, and that it was not the intention
to annex the islands, but only to punish
King Malieota for alleged injustice to Ger
man residents. So long as American inter
ests are not molested the Secretary could
not see that there was any call for interior
ence on the part of the Government
